Yup, media hide truth about Iraq

Harold Clark

President Bush and his supporters have complained that the media tend to focus on the bad news of bombings and killings in Iraq, and not on the good news from that country. They are right.

For example, the media have ignored reports from Iraq that the Bush administration is building huge new military bases so that our troops can stay in Iraq indefinitely.

This is good news because it means that someday, after all of the insurgents have been killed, Americans will be able to buy land in Iraq to build summer homes in an area with a climate similar to Las Vegas. Naturally, the casinos will follow.

While Christian and Jewish settlers from America may not be welcomed initially, this will change when the current shortages of dependable electricity and water are eliminated and travel again becomes possible with the cheap gasoline that is plentiful in Iraq.

Of course, the liberal American media don’t want voters in the upcoming congressional elections to share in the vision of a home in what many believe is the site of the original Garden of Eden, because this might have an adverse effect on candidates who believe the best way to support our servicemen and women is to bring them home.
